How many years of experience is needed to have a nurse license here in Qatar?

My younger sister is planning to join me here in Qatar to find opportunities as a nurse. She is a licensed nurse currently working as a staff nurse in the telemetry division of the hospital for 2years now. I would like to know if her experience is enough to be eligible for a nurse license. I have been reading a lot of forums here in QL and I am getting confused on the requirements for the licensure. Her family visit visa is already being processed. I would like to make sure that my sister could practice her profession here, before she make any decisions about leaving her current job as a nurse in the Philippines. Any advice on the matter would be highly appreciated. 

Thanks!

Please check the supreme council of health website. Your sister can be employed as general scope nurse.She has to pass the evaluation first before she can be employed since it is the primary requirement of most clinics/hospitals here.If she intends to apply at HAMAD hospital, QID is needed not just a copy of family visa..

Hi...now a days total licence procedure has been changed.if she wants to get licence,she has to go for prometric exam through online.(she can do from her country).then all certificates should send to DATA FLOW dubai private agency through supreme council of health.once she clear both exam & certificate clearance,she need good standing certificate from nursing council in her coutry,as my knowledge 2 years continuous expirience is must.

thanks
